Getting closer every day ...

You know how you see skinny girls cross their legs and then tuck their foot behind the other ankle? Yesterday I couldn't do that ... today I CAN!! wooohoooo OK, I'm certainly not skinny, but sure a lot thinner than I was and on my way to healthy to boot!!

This is such an awesome journey with surprising results every single day. I have a few real life friends doing it as well .. not because of my journey, but they also found it on their own ... and I know one is doing very well! The other two don't stay in touch often, so not sure about their journey at all but hoping for great successes for them as well.

The temp has soared over 100 today after keeping us in early spring/late winter for so long .. it is quite a change with very little warning. Almost makes me happy my eye is not sunshine worthy and I must stay in the air conditioned confines of my home. HA .. good excuse! Healing ulcer and staph infection .. neither a lot of fun, both painful and difficult to deal with. Hopefully with the prayers of wonderful family and friends I will heal sooner rather than later!

Am on day 10 of the vlcd ... keeping it as close to 500 calories a day as is possible. The last couple of days I have lost over 1 pound so expect that to slow a lot soon. This is the 2nd week which notoriously is slow and sluggish, but since I have some experience with the reasoning behind that, I am hoping to plow my way through it ... I am actually enjoying the journey and hoping that these next 18 pounds will leave the building during this round. Wouldn't that be awesome?
